Many indigenous plants on the Mornington
Peninsula are not suited to high nutrient conditions.
However, there are some that can be used to reduce
excessive nutrient levels and are particularly useful
where septic tanks or grey water runoff effects
natural waterways.
Once established, non-woody indigenous plants can
be easily cut back to reduce nutrients in the soil.
This allows new growth and more rapid nutrient
absorption. Cut plant material can be composted.

Consistently moist to wet soils often

Shallow water (to about 10cm deep) around
edges. Submergent and/or emergent or floating.
Many naturally occurring wetlands dry out over summer. During this time, some wetland plant species die back but then
re-grow seasonally in response to rainfall and/or inundation of the wetland.

Farm dams, natural wetlands and other water bodies are
essential habitat for many local flora and local / migratory fauna.
Development of land for housing and farming has seen the loss of
many wetlands, both small and large throughout the peninsula.
Council asks that all wetlands and associated native
vegetation are retained and protected on your land. A permit is
required for removal of wetland and other native vegetation.
The quality of water can be greatly improved with the addition of
indigenous plants in and around the dam.
Locally native trees, shrubs and ground covers are best suited to
local conditions e.g. climate and soil types.

• prevent algal blooms.
• control erosion.
• provide habitat and food for native fauna including birds,
frogs, fish and mammals.
• replace wetland vegetation lost through past clearing.
• reduce excessive nutrient accumulation.

making the most of your
revegetation project.
Indigenous plants growing in the wild are distributed across the
peninsula according to a range of ecological conditions.
In Victoria, native vegetation is mapped and managed in units called
Ecological Vegetation Classes (EVCs). EVCs have a characteristic
set of plant species found in them. We can get a good idea of what to
plant where by looking at EVC maps, produced by the state
government. Mornington Peninsula Shire has been divided into seven
planting regions, based largely on the distribution of EVCs.

Plants appearing with this symbol are suitable species for areas
affected by salt spray or generally higher natural salt levels e.g. near coast.
Dimensions given for size represent the typical maximum space that each species
may occupy once mature. They are generally much smaller in heathland vegetation.
Scientific names are given in the broad sense due to recent changes to or ongoing
revision of taxonomy.
